said that Wu You had never returned to the capital since he went to the south to be a pirate, and this time he came back and walked around his parents. His mother was happy when she looked at him, and his father Wu Leopard simply didn't go to Ma Xing and stayed home with his son.

Suddenly, someone from Rongguofu came to deliver a message, saying that someone proposed to the fourth girl, and Wu You jumped up and shouted: "Impossible!" After a while, he asked, "What else did you third master say?" ”

The kid said, "No, let me go back after I finish." ”

Wu You pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you go back." "Send him away.

He looked at each other, a little puzzled, Wu Leopard asked, "Didn't you protect the four girls and sell them around?" ”

"yes." Wu You stretched his waist and said casually, "Where is Jia Zhen's decision about the affairs of the four girls." ”

Wu Leopard said: "You better hurry over and take a look, the third master of Huan will not let people sue you for nothing." ”

Wu You snorted: "He just wants to see the excitement, so I'm too lazy to fulfill him." ”

His mother saw a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said tentatively: "What are you looking at?" ”

Wu You waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, don't ask." Seeing that his mother was still staring, she was a little at a loss, and she made an excuse to slip out.

His mother had a flash of inspiration, immediately understood, and shouted, "Hurry up and go to the Rongguo Mansion!" ”

Wu You said as he walked: "Don't go-"

His mother stamped her foot anxiously: "Go! Gotta go anyway! If you don't go, you won't come back! ”

Wu You heard something strange in his heart, and he still said stubbornly: "What am I going to do?" Plain redundant! I just told you that you are old, where is the fourth girl Jia Zhen can handle. ”

"You know what!" His mother threw the sewing basket in her hand, "You have to hurry! Don't you understand in a hurry? You have to make people watch the jokes! Hurry up! Wu Youden was empowered, and ran away with a "oops".

He never turned a corner, pointed to his place and asked, "What is this for?" His mother smiled but did not answer, took the needlework from the kang, and ordered the maid to thread the needle.

Wu You hurried to Rongguo Mansion and entered from Lixiangyuan. He is very familiar with the house, and now the girls' yard is only in the spring, and he doesn't do anything else. Then he climbed over the wall and entered, and after a while, he followed the voice and touched the window of the Xichun embroidery room. The window was originally open, and the curtain was hooked, Wu You peeked sideways, and there were several people sitting inside. He leaned his ear to the base of the wall, and heard a woman sobbing, as if she was crying something, and there was no father or brother to support her. Then I heard Xichun's voice and couldn't help but smile.

But I heard her say: "I advise my sister-in-law to only pick up the people she likes to eat and do what she loves to eat, and don't care about him anymore." Or piano or book or embroidery, wipe dominoes to become a skill, and find fun by yourself. ”

Another female voice said: "Look, I have won the whole game, and the days are immediately delicious, and the master can't take care of it when he is not in the capital." "The muttering is endless.

Wu You listened to them for a while, and felt that they were too chatty, and the four girls didn't like to listen to them, so they learned to meow. Seeing Jia Xichun's body trembling when he saw it, he simply sat under the window and raised his face and laughed silently. Suddenly, a head poked out of the window and startled him! When I looked closely, it was a little boy of five or six years old, with a chubby face, a total horn on the top of his head, and a pair of big black eyes. Wu You hurriedly stretched out his fingers and pressed them to his lips and "shhhh The little boy blinked his eyes, also "shh

It didn't take long for someone inside to say goodbye. Wu You took a peek, and sure enough, he saw Xichun sending people out. When she came back, she ordered the maid to hold the Western carved glass mirror with a copper basin from the seafood shop on the table, and she turned the mirror around herself, just to see out the window. Wu You took advantage of her maid to go out to cut flowers, quietly poked her head out from under the window, and beckoned to Xichun in the mirror. Xichun pursed his lips and smiled. Wu You couldn't help but cheer and immediately covered his mouth.

After retreating and flashing back to the wall, he tiptoed around the maid outside and walked over the wall. When he returned to Lixiangyuan, he let out a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, I didn't let Brother Huan'er see it as a joke." ”

At this time, Jia Huan was still playing with milk dolls in Aunt Zhou's yard. At one time, Jia Zheng sent someone over and asked him to go to Wei's house, just saying that since the four girls didn't want to, it was just that. Jia Huan sighed: "In the end, it's me again!" "I had no choice but to go back to the house and change my clothes.

Nai rode to Wei's house, and when he came to the gate of their house, he only said that he wanted to see their uncle. After a while, Wei Ruolan greeted her in person and said with a smile: "Brother is in such a hurry. ”

Jia Huan was a little more gentle outside, and said honestly: "Brother Wei, I took the liberty to visit, I really have something important to discuss." ”

Wei Ruolan smiled: "Brother understands." He hurriedly let him go to his study, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks.

Jia Huan couldn't care about eating snacks, so he motioned for him to withdraw all the people he served, and said in a low voice: "How can you be so decent, your family will go to our Dongfu to ask for relatives?" Didn't Brother Wei know that the fourth sister was already from our house, didn't they say anything? ”

Wei Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and then arched her hand and said: "I'm really sorry for the tightness, there is no offense in our house." Although I knew that the four girls were raised in your mansion, because I thought that they were from Ningguo Mansion after all, the gift of three media and six appointments would eventually leave that mansion. ”

Jia Huan sighed: "For such a big matter, don't tell me in advance, otherwise why would the two families be embarrassed." ”

Wei Ruolan hurriedly stepped forward: "I really don't know that this matter is so important, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing else; It's just that the situation of the four sisters is completely unknown in their house, but our house knows. ”

Wei Ruolan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask what the situation of the fourth girl is?" ”

Jia Huan said: "I won't let others make decisions for myself. Wei Ruolan frowned. Jia Huan took a sip of tea and continued, "She is a chivalrous character, and she can't be trapped in the backyard." The day before yesterday, King Yan also praised her talent - not the kind of talent that recited poetry and painting, but real talent and hard work, and one day she will enter the court as an official. Dare to ask Brother Wei, is your family willing to marry a female adult who is in the court with a wat board in her hand? ”

"This ......" Wei Ruolan was dumbfounded for a moment, and said hurriedly, "Where is there a female lady in the court!" ”

"Not yet." Jia Huan said, "It won't be available in a few years." There are female emperors everywhere in the West, and our dynasty has been divided into vassal states, and it is not uncommon for several female prime ministers to be in Shangshu. ”

Wei Ruolan was stunned. Not to mention that there is a cup of tea, he shook his head and said: "Although I love such a strange woman, my father and mother may not agree to it." ”

Jia Huan clapped his hands and said, "It's just right, my fourth sister will not agree." ”

The two were silent for a moment, and Wei Ruolan smiled bitterly: "I went to Lingnan because of the old year, and I talked a lot with Cong'er, because I thought that his sister must be not bad." ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "It's not bad, everyone doesn't let their eyebrows go." ”

"Seven or eight days ago, I just hurried back to Beijing." Wei Ruolan said, "I just rested for a while, and I didn't have the energy to go out to meet guests, so I heard my mother say that the fourth girl from Rongguo Mansion came back, but the third girl didn't come back, thinking that she had married in the south." Jia Huan laughed. Wei Ruolan said, "Look at your appearance, you know it's not. Jia Huan smiled but did not answer. Wei Ruolan continued, "That's why I begged my mother to ask the matchmaker to go to Ningguo Mansion to ask for marriage. ”

Jia Huan said: "Thank you for your heart." ”

Wei Ruolan sighed: "Since she is such a strange woman, she can't look down on me as a layman." ”

Jia Huan said: "It's not that you can't look down on it, it's just that you two are not suitable." Brother Wei should marry a woman with three obedience and four virtues to take care of your housekeeper. ”

After another half an hour, Wei Ruolan suddenly asked, "Did Cong'er tell you before, did he look at my daughter-in-law's life?" ”

"Huh?" Jia Huan was stunned, "No! Besides, he doesn't know how many lives he has broken over the years, what is the number of lives? ”

Hearing these words in Wei Ruolan's ears, it was obvious that she admitted that Jia Cong had a background, and hurriedly asked: "He can tell you, according to the number of fate, who should my daughter-in-law be?" Jia Huan shook his head sincerely. Wei Ruolan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Did he deliberately marry any nobleman?" ”

Jia Huan counted his head sideways for a long time: their family only married Jia Yingchun and went out, which was Jia Yu's master, and had nothing to do with Jia Cong; The rest of Qin Keqing was begged by Liu Xianglian, Xue Baochai was begged by Jiang Zixuan, Xue Baoqin was Jia Huan's own Lalang match, Shi Xiangyun was Jia's mother, and even Xing Xiuyan was designed and married by the Xie family; It's nothing to do with Jia Cong. Nai shook his head and said, "I really can't think of it." I have counted the daughters of my relatives' families, but none of them were married to him. ”

Wei Ruolan sighed for a long time, and said softly: "...... That's it. ”

He then confessed to the crime, but in fact, he went outside the door and instructed a confidant to tell his mother about the matter, and he turned around and came back to talk to Jia Huan. Jia Huan naturally couldn't leave immediately, and the two of them talked idle for a long time.

Suddenly, a big girl came outside, opened the curtain and glanced at Wei Ruolan. Wei Ruolan was helpless, so she confessed to Jia Huan again and pulled out by herself. Because the door of the house was not closed, although the curtain of the door was hanging, and the voice of the maid was brittle and not low, Jia Huan actually heard some of their words. What" Mrs. said, even so, Second Master Li hasn't discussed marriage yet. He is not the eldest son, so he won't care too much about his uncle. Hearing Wei Ruolan's anxious jumping feet to tell the maid to hurry back and let his wife not have any more bad ideas, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After a short time, Wei Ruolan came back, her face was flushed, and when she saw Jia Huan smiling, she knew that he had heard it, and said with a wry smile: "My wife has no intention of looking down on the four girls." ”

Jia Huan said with a smile: "She didn't look down on my sister, she looked down on our brothers." Lingtang has today, does it not rely on Uncle Ling, but on talent and virtuousness? Wei Ruolan shook her head again and again, speechless.

Jia Huanai got up and said goodbye.

Sending him out, Wei Ruolan sighed lightly and went to see his mother. Mrs. Wei Li smiled and beckoned him to sit beside him, and asked, "Is that Jia Gongzi interested?" Although it is inconvenient for you to marry a woman who shows her face, your cousin will not inherit the family business. ”

Wei Ruolan smiled bitterly: "Madam, it's not that I look down on her, it's that she looks down on me." Since you can't look down on me, where can you look down on your cousin. ”

Li Shi lowered his face when he landed: "Why doesn't she look down on you!" ”

"With Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu." Wei Ruolan said, "The girl's family naturally relies on brothers, otherwise what else can you rely on? Jia Huan specially told me that the four girls are from their Rongguo Mansion and have nothing to do with Ning Guofu. ”

Li looked at him and said, "What does Jia Huan mean, how many of their brothers can support this fourth girl as an official?" ”

Wei Ruolan sighed: "Yes." Therefore, the wife should stop thinking nonsense. ”

Li Shi suddenly laughed: "Okay, tight." Lan'er, what I said just now was to test him. Wei Ruolan was stunned. She squeezed her son's palm, "Even today, I went to propose marriage to test their house." I had already guessed that this family affair would not be able to be settled. ”

"Since my wife has guessed, why do you still ask someone to propose her relatives?"

Li glanced at him: "You tell me happily, if you say that people look down on you, can you be willing?" Besides, if you don't make such a fuss, you may not be willing to marry the daughter-in-law I want you to marry. ”

Wei Ruolan's body moved: "Who?" ”

Li said: "I have long been in love with Rongguo Mansion. She sighed, "Many years ago, I heard someone mention that Jia Cong in Rongguo Mansion said that the most important thing for a woman is father, brother and son, and the rest doesn't matter. At that time he was still a young boy of seven or eight years old, and I knew that this son was a transparent child. Later...... "Li paused," the second girl of their family got married. A concubine, married to the son-in-law of the Gao family in Ping'an Prefecture. I was engaged a long time ago, but I didn't get married until Jia Er was eighteen years old. Guess what, what is the reason why this Jia Cong delayed his sister's marriage and said it to the Gao family? ”

Wei Ruolan shook her head: "I don't know." ”

Li said: "Women give birth to children before the age of eighteen and are prone to death. ”

Wei Ruolan frowned: "But really? ”

"Really." Li nodded and said, "Even if you don't die young, most of them are weak." ”

Wei Ruolan said: "He knows everything. ”

Li said: "It's just an excuse to delay the marriage, and ordinary people are unwilling to agree." The Gao family agreed. Not only did he agree to this, but he also promised that the third master of the high school would not accept a concubine! You just think, why! You can't rely on Jia pardon that old fool. ”

Wei Ruolan said: "Naturally, it's by Cong'er." ”

"Not bad." Li nodded and said, "It can be seen that in the eyes of Gao Li, the envoy of the Ping'an Prefecture, Jia Cong is a great figure. But anyone who can marry him will agree to any conditions. What Jia Huan meant, they were able to support the four girls as female officials! Where can ordinary people do this? She looked at her son and said earnestly, "Think about it, how can your father compare with Gao Li, our family and Gao family?" How could their family marry the four girls to our family? ”

Wei Ruolan was silent.

After a pause, Li Shi said again: "As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven. Now the ghosts and gods of this world are unpredictable, but the Rongguo Mansion must be more and more prosperous. The meat rots in the pot, and not everyone has soup to drink, so they have to pick up the edge of the pot. Jia Cong is a heavy relative. Their grandmother Zhu is the daughter of a famous eunuch in Jinling, and her father, Lord Li, once supervised the sacrificial wine for the son of the country. She has two nieces and nephews, and she used to live in the same yard with the girls in their house. Later, the girl of their family went south, and moved out with the widowed mother to live in Ningrong Street, which has always been supported by Grandma Zhu. In the old year, the big girl Li had married a child and was waiting for the test list. ”

Wei Ruolan stayed for a long time: "What does Mrs. mean? ”

Li smiled and said: "The only one who can match them in the house and have a good status and is the same age as you is the second girl Li." It's just that let's wait for their eldest aunt to get a move. Otherwise, our relatives will be too conspicuous. ”

Wei Ruolan smiled bitterly: "Isn't their eldest aunt conspicuous when she is moved?" ”

"Fool." Li Shi stroked his head, "But if there is a cover, although a smart person understands what is going on in his heart, it is still better than no cover-up." Lan'er, showing weakness is not more beneficial than being strong, and it doesn't hurt to be stupid a little. She sighed lightly, "You will be a martial artist after all." ”
